Hindsight Blues

Long overdue
residue
dripping from
hindsight blues
Catastrophic
catatonic
blasphemous
gruesome ooze
Guilt for the things
We failed to do
second-guessing
doors we didn’t walk through
mistakes were made
give and take
desires from the lake
of daring ruse
Over and under
reactions spewed
out to them
into you
Words wielded
within confidence
sold for minor dues
or blasted from the heat
of an angry fuse
Gains and losses
joys and regrets
cycled through
rose-colored hues
Spread out wide
upon the table
a magnificent feast
for the resident muse
because we do
what we do
and live beyond
what we lose
